Kastner Intermediate

Summary:

Kastner Intermediate is a public middle school located in Fresno, California, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 1,133 students. The school is part of the Clovis Unified School District, which is ranked 326 out of 1,568 districts in California and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kastner Intermediate consistently ranks in the top 20% of California middle schools, with strong academic performance on Smarter Balanced Assessments, where 67.71% of students are proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 43.11% in Mathematics. The school's diverse student population, with significant representation of Hispanic, White, and Asian students, is a notable strength, as the school's performance is particularly strong for its African American and Hispanic student subgroups, which rank in the top 15% and top 13% of California middle schools, respectively. Kastner Intermediate also serves a significant population of English Language Learners, who rank in the top 5% of California middle schools.

While Kastner Intermediate performs well compared to the state and other Clovis Unified schools, the exceptional performance of Granite Ridge Intermediate suggests there may be opportunities for Kastner to further improve. The significant gap in academic performance and school climate between Kastner Intermediate and the nearby Fresno Unified middle schools, such as Fort Miller Middle and Scandinavian Middle, highlights the importance of equitable access to quality education and the need for targeted interventions and support in underperforming districts.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote They have an inspiring principle (Mr. Eisele) that really cares about his school and students. And from the top of the chain of command to the bottom you will find teachers and staff that are very freindly and welcoming. I love this school and everything that they stand for. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
